Åland invests in children's future by providing them with small classes and a great school environment. Here there is access to assistants and a wide range of education for both pupils and students.
The range extends from primary school to studies at upper secondary school, folk high school and university. Additionally, there are continuing education programs, courses and other training options for both young people and adults to choose from.
Already the year before the child starts primary school, school-preparatory preschool education is offered within childcare.
The primary school is municipal, free of charge and open to all. The small-scale teaching is of high quality, which is evident in the PISA surveys where Åland tops the Finnish and Nordic schools' results in mathematics.
After primary school, it is possible to continue studying in Åland. Choose between upper secondary school, vocational school, or folk high school. You can also take courses or receive training through an apprenticeship agreement.
After upper secondary school, you have the opportunity to continue studying locally at Högskolan på Åland (Åland University of Applied Sciences), which offers degree-oriented higher education, open university courses and continuing education.
